Hi Brian,

So right now, we have 2 versions of dtc installed by default..

The current package "device-tree-compiler" -> /usr/bin/dtc

Which only works for 3.8.x based kernel overlay's..  (these *.dtbo
overlays will not load on v4.1.x+ based kernel's due to internal
overlay changes)..

For v4.1.x kernel's we ship a patched dtc at /usr/local/bin/dtc

Which only works on 4.1.x+ kernel's (they won't load on 3.8.x kernel's)

What i want to do, is essentially, remove the old dtc and ship only
the 4.1.x-dtc as "/usr/bin/dtc"

and then package the "bb.org-overlays".

This only affects users who build a custom *.dtbo on target, there's
nothing stopping you from building on an external machine and copying
over, or using this script:

to add back the "3.8.x-dtc"...
